The comment I responded to could be interpreted as "America, I don't understand what you're doing" or "America, I disagree strongly with what you're doing". I was responding to the former.
I am simply unsurprised by the result. It was obvious for a long time that he had a good chance of winning and appealed to a lot of people. The result is likely going to show him winning the electoral college and the popular vote. Sounds like democracy doing its thing.

(or: "I don't understand what you're doing") rather than "I'm surprised". I'm pretty sure plenty of Americans are also asking "what's wrong with us?" – I believe Obama said pretty much that earlier this week or last week.
